The Shiite protesters reportedly clashed with security agencies close to the Federal Secretariat in the Nigerian capital.

A protest by members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria turned violent on Monday in Abuja.

Monday’s incident comes about two weeks after two Shiites were killed and two police officers injured after a similar protest turned violent at the National Assembly complex in Abuja. On Monday, the Shiites had begun a protest at Nitel junction and were expected to end at the secretariat. “Which clash. There was no clash between us and anybody. It was a peaceful protest. Until these security officers just came and started shooting and attacking us,” Mr Mohammed said.
